How to Move from Survival Mode to Thriving: Naomi Kreske on Life Coaching and Transformation

On this episode of the Journey to Purpose Podcast, life coach Naomi Kreske shares her remarkable journey from pub manager to women's life coach — and what she learned about trauma, self-awareness, and the long road from survival mode to truly thriving.

Naomi reflects on a life of career pivots and personal challenges, and how her own experience of trauma became the fuel for a deep desire to help other women navigate theirs. She explores the law of attraction and manifestation not as quick fixes but as practices rooted in real self-awareness and inner work. The conversation covers the importance of letting go of toxic relationships, the push-pull between autonomy and belonging, and why community support is one of the most powerful catalysts for lasting change.

• Letting go of toxic relationships: the process, the grief, and why it's one of the most liberating things you can do
